Where are Run configurations stored?

Question

Run Liclipse 2.5.3 on Mac OS. I renamed my project. I lost all my run configurations. When i recreate one, it says the file exists. However there are no run configurations prese

Answer 1

The normal location for launches is in the workspace in the

.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches

folder.

Each launch configuration is in a separate xxx.launch file which is a xml file.

You can also Export and Import launch configurations.

Answer 2

These configrations are located in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches, and they are *.launch files.

Note that each workspace has its own .metadata folder.

Answer 3

@greg-449's answer tells you where they are stored, but you might be running into a situation where the launch configs for the renamed project are just being filtered/hidden. In the Launch Configurations dialog, there is a toolbar button to control filtering. Check there if deleted/unavailable projects are being filtered; if so try disabling that option and see if your missing configs come back into view.
